Hidden amidst the bustle of modern Bristol lies the Red Lodge, an Elizabethan house built around 1590. Come and see the last surviving suite of 16th century rooms in the city with:

  • Superb carved oak panelling
  • Ornate plasterwork ceilings
  • Magnificent carved stone chimneypiece.

    Look out for the impressive Tudor-style knot garden.

    Around 1730 the exterior and some of the rooms were 'modernise' and the house is now furnished in the style of both periods.

    In 1854 the house became the country's first girls' reform school, set up by social pioneer Mary Carpenter (1807-77).
